Factuality The Game

About Us

FACTUALITY serves as a crash course on structural inequality in America. Covering the areas of race, ethnicity, gender sexual orientation discrimination, incarceration disparities, bail disparities, (mental) health disparities, housing discrimination, median household income averages, gender pay gaps, race/ethnicity pay gaps, and education inequity, FACTUALITY provides all players with an in-depth understanding of structural inequality in America in under 90 minutes.

FACTUALITY's interactive delivery creates a comfortable environment for participants to engage in meaningful experiential learning. In under 90 minutes, participants will simulate, discuss, and unpack the structural limitations and advantages that coincide with various intersecting identities.
FACTUALITY is played with eight characters that belong to the following racial groups: Asian, White, African American, Hispanic, and Native American. There are male and female characters, LGBTQ characters, Muslim, and Jewish characters. Each character encounters a series of fact based advantages and limitations based on the intersection of their race, gender, sexual orientation, faith, class, age, and ability.
Participants select a character that differs from how they identify and are then engaged in a facilitated conversation that includes but is not limited to: racial, gender, religious, and sexual orientation discrimination, gender and racial pay gaps, redlining and gentrification, median income averages by race and gender, (mental) health disparities, prison disparities, (dis)ability, education inequity, ageism, environmental justice, and intersectionality.
